I'm really not sure how this dude goes from tagging his wife in "why don't you do this?" big boob cosplay posts to sharing this from Divorce, Separation and Single Support group. Maybe she wised up? I doubt it, which makes this double wtf worthy.

When you share a picture from a friend's feed that they shared from someone else, it shows up on your feed as "shared (original page)'s photo" instead of "shared (friend)'s photo".

According to this article, several billion dollars back in 2014. Sub-Saharan countries got 36 billion, West and Central got 13 billion (including Sudan and Syria), and overall everyone got a share of 135 billion.

http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/apr/08/foreign-aid-spending-2014-least-developed-countries

The Australian gov (since the meme was shared from an Australian page) in comparison is paying 700 million over 4 years to help Syrian refugees.

"Borgenproject.org posted:

In 2012, the United States provided nearly $12 billion in official development assistance (�ODA�) to African nations. The ODA is allocated to education, health, infrastructure and economic development programs in recipient countries. Currently, the United States allocates foreign aid to 47 African nations and USAID operates 27 missions on the continent.

So that's a pretty big chunk of the US total aid budget.

Aid to Africa increased by 600% under Bush's administration. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Obama has at least kept up with current support, if not increased it. Kenyan

I can't find it now, but I read that the price of AIDS medication went from $10k/year to $20/year because of the extra subsidies and support.

Omega Humans

In studying humans on my own, I�ve noticed something too: most omegas are alphas.

Omegas are often alphas, but just in the wrong group or culture.

And they hate you for that. They know you are top dog in a certain group. That you could have it easy, be respected, and most important of all have all the mating rights with the right culture.

And that last reason is why they hate you. So they want to CRUSH YOU (get inside your head, create bad memories for a life time) as competition before you take your position of power.

They still venerate them as Alpha ~~males~~ females. Serious answer: I think they've long forgotten and left behind the origin of their whole redpill culture. It's still bizarre to me that of the many things you can philosophically take from that film, that one little segment of a little scene is what they latched onto.

The Matrix is the epitome of pop philosophy, and the redpill bluepill choice is an incredible pretentious scene that can be applied to absolutely any "binary" decision.

This fits MRAs perfectly, what with their feigned personas of Byronic intellectuals.

Most Americans are taught about Margaret Thatcher in the sense of "She was a Prime Minister of England before you were born." The details of her time just don't have a lot of relevancy to most people.

This is about as stupid as the mother that thought her kid's school bus had a pentagram in the tail light.

I used to work for the company that sold the toy at its live event (Monster Jam - it's motocross stunts and monster trucks, but Feld Entertainment also does Disney on Ice and Ringling Brothers and Marvel Live) and they take that poo poo seriously. Their chotchkies are ridiculously overpriced, but the slightest complaint (other than animal welfare) gets poo poo done so lightening fast, it's not even funny.

I took the ice show I worked on to Qatar, and on the slightest mention of modesty, they had me augmenting any sort of costume that showed the slightest bit of skin.

Beyond all that, the mother is loving stupid because her daughter saw something similar on Law and Order: SVU and now there's a fake uproar. It's a heart within a heart, for gently caress's sake, it's not a pedophile symbol. Also, why the gently caress would a pedophile symbol be printed on a toy? Like, the whole idea behind those FAKE symbols is that it's for other pedophiles to identify each other. :psyduck:
